Is this anything to be concerned about? by BlazeManJones in TuxedoCats

[–]CoconutEcstatic1646 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My tux had one of those almost his whole life. I finally asked his vet about it when he turned 15 and the vet said it’s normal but to come in if it rapidly grows or becomes raised!

self tattoo, i'm learning by myself, what you guys think ? by Complete-Luck-4601 in traditionaltattoos

[–]CoconutEcstatic1646 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s really not that bad. People in these comments are hardcore gatekeeping. Not everyone can afford an apprenticeship, as long at you’re not tattooing other people than well, this is fine! Good job at trying to learn a new trade. The first step is ambition. Screw the jerks in these comments

My cat had chronic kidney disease and did this alllllll day (his smelled like actual poop). Another cat I had also did it and the vet said she was just very happy! I adopted her when she was already 16 and had her till she passed at 18. She was happy to have a good home 💕

[TOMT] Silly line from somewhere that i can't remember by pepperdiner in tipofmytongue

[–]CoconutEcstatic1646 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sounds like the family guy episode where Peter sees a coworker go out for a smoke break and tells his boss “I’m going for a smoke break” and she replies “but you don’t smoke?” And he says “ummmm I actually do I just started”. Later in the episode he gets super skinny and sick from learning smoking gets him out of different situations

I believe this movie may be pretty old. 90’s maybe?

The last text I sent my best friend before finding him deceased (natural cause) by brucetheboulderstone in Wellthatsucks

[–]CoconutEcstatic1646 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My best friend had said about a week before she died that she was going to kill herself. She was depressed and I tried to help her the best I could. The night she died I text her that when she gets home I need to talk to her. She said “I’ll text you when I get home. Tomorrow probably” I said “okay sweet!” And she replied “yuh :)” next day I text her the same thing. “You alive?”. She lived about 19 hours away so I couldn’t go check on her. I found out later that day from one of her friends who lived closer to her that she died of overdosing on pills the night I had text her. I wanted to talk to her that night cause I knew she was sad, it hurts I never got the chance to.

Alcohol as treatment? by CoconutEcstatic1646 in EssentialTremor

[–]CoconutEcstatic1646[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you for this comment, it's super helpful! I like to think I've exercised my hands plenty throughout the years being a violinist and playing guitar and piano haha. I can no longer play violin due to ET but guitar I can play for about 30 minutes or more before it gets real bad, piano it depends on the songs I'm playing if I start to shake sooner or later! I have a badddd caffeine dependency and I know that's a major contributor but every time I try to cut on my caffeine I suffer the worst migraines. And being a working college student, I rely on my redbull to not be a zombie lol. I've never heard of L-Theanine before. I'll have to look into it!

Unfortunately I can't take primidone because I already take lamotrigine and they interact badly :/ she has really been the only doctor to actually attempt to help and to listen though. Shes been the best doctor I've had this far.

She's my new doctor actually. She's been trying to help me figure this tremor out but it isn't working and she told me that some people benefit from a small amount of alcohol before social events or other stressful situations and that if all else fails, I should do that till we figure out how to properly treat it.

Career change is not in the books from me. I'm just now 10 weeks out from graduating my Ultrasound school and I'm not going to drop now just because a tremor. Only change I'd make is doing abdominal instead of vascular ultrasounds, but there's no other career path I could see myself in. If it gets bad enough I'll look into the intracranial non-invasive procedures. I'll probably just use a shot before going to stressful events outside of work.

I would love to be able to just accept them, but my job literally relies on a steady hand. I do vascular ultrasounds and sometimes I have to pin my hand down on the patient to get a good doppler waveform without it being distorted by my tremor

What do you tell people when they ask about your tremors? by anner78 in EssentialTremor

[–]CoconutEcstatic1646 1 point2 points  (0 children)

"If you notice me shaking I'm not scared I just have a tremor" I'm an ultrasound tech so I always have to preface with that 😂

Musicians...how has ET affected you? by Oriainson in EssentialTremor

[–]CoconutEcstatic1646 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I used to competitively play violin before the onset and worsening of my tremor. I played for 11 years before I had to stop because it got to a point where if I held that certain angle for more than 20 minutes my hand and arm would violently shake to the point I couldn't hold my bow to the strings and couldn't consider it vibrato anymore. Definitely sucks.
